Catalysts are one of the five weapon types that characters can use in Genshin Impact.

All Normal and Charged Attacks of Catalyst users deal elemental damage.

Normal Attacks[]

A Catalyst user's Normal Attack chain typically consists of 3–4 single-target or AoE elemental attacks from range. These attacks take varying forms depending on the character, and their maximum ranges vary greatly between characters.

Catalyst Normal Attacks have the following types:

Charged Attacks[]

Catalyst users' Charged Attacks typically consume 50 stamina to unleash a more powerful AoE attack after a short delay. These attacks spawn at the target's location when locked on.

Exceptions include:

Plunging Attacks[]

All Catalyst users have similar animations when plunging, which involves them turning into a glowing elemental ball and reappearing upon striking the ground.

Catalyst Plunging Attacks are considered ranged attacks and cannot deal any damage to Geo objects such as Minerals.
